As for the question of who gets the room, they will take turns, with Ramona being first (for a change). They can afford it as she has a new job at Dr. Quimby enters and tells the girls off for shouting, but then turns sympathetic and decides that the solution is to put the girls in separate bedrooms, which is what she plans on doing, and her secret is that she's building a new room. Ramona reads a book involving a gorilla, only for another argument to start up when she slams the book. Quimby has been running errands for some reason she is keeping secret, and when Ramona can't find her red crayon and later finds it broken, the girls argue over who's at fault, which degenerates into name-calling. Ramona now feels sad and embarrassed, because she feels that she tried and failed to be noble and brave. The parents ask what happened and the girls respond that a rude boy on the playground started chanting, "Jesus, Beezus!" and Ramona embarrassed her further by "preaching a sermon" saying that it was wrong to take God's name in vain. When they get home, Beatrice demands that everyone stop calling her by her nickname.
Ramona, on the other hand, is pleased at how "brave" she was for "defending" her older sister. The book starts with the Quimby sisters going home from the park, but Beezus Quimby is angry. Ramona the Brave is the third book in the Ramona Quimby series, focusing on Ramona Quimby's first grade year.
